[boost] bind + lambda example fails on msvc2003

I tried the following example (taken from
http://boost.org/libs/lambda/doc/ar01s05.html#sect:construction_and_destruction) ,
and it failed to compile:

  std::vector<int> x(10);
  std::vector<int> y(10);
  std::vector<std::pair<int, int> > pairs;
  std::transform(x.begin(), x.end(), y.begin(), std::back_inserter(pairs),
    boost::bind(boost::lambda::constructor<std::pair<int, int> >(), _1,
_2));

Compiling...
main.cpp

----
In boost/lambda/construct.hpp, I added the following line, and it worked:
template<class T> struct constructor {
  template <class U> struct sig { typedef T type; };
+  typedef T result_type;
  T operator()() const {
    return T();
  }
  ...
HTH,
